DAVID BESWICK, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

SAD-IRON.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, DAVID Baswioir, citizen of the United States, residing at l hiladolphin, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sadlrons, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in sad irons and an object thereof is to provide an iron that may be heated by a core which has been previously heated.

Another object of the invention is to provide simple and secure means by which the iron proper, core and the iandle of the device may be all securely held together.

With the above and other objects in view which will hereinafter more fully appear I have invented the device illustrated in the several views in toe drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved sad iron, Fig. 2 is a top view of a core therefor, 3 is a view taken on line AA of Fig. 2, Fig. i is a longitudinal central sectional view taken on line B-B of Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the iron the handle thereof being broken away, and Fig. 6 is a bottom plan view of separable cover for the iron, Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view taken on line C-C of Fig.

Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the specification and in the accompanying drawings in which- 1 indicates a hollow sad iron body the bottom portion 2 of which is provided with an integral vertical lug 3 which extends above the top portion of the iron. This lug is adapted to pass through an opening i in solid metal core 5 and is provided with a slot 6 which is adapted to engage a tongue 7 of a locking lever 8 which is provided with a handle 9 whereby it may be operated. This lever is made of spring steel and is adapted to slide upon an inclined portion 9 of a lug 10 on the top 12 which is provided at one end at its upmost surface with a horizontal portion 10 upon which the portion 11 of the lever member 8 is adapted to seat thereby holding the portion '7 in looking engagement with the lug 3. This locking member is pivotally secured to the top 12 of the sad iron by means of the rivet 13. The top 12 is provided with a handle 1% and is hollowed out in the under portion thereof to receive an asbestos or other non-conducting lining 15.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 617,407.

The lower under surface 16 of the top memher is provided with lugs 17, 18 and 19 which are adapted to seat snugly into corners 20, 21 and 22- of the iron body proper. This top is also provided with an opening 23 so that the member 3 may extend therethrough. The core 5 is shaped to fit snugly and nearly fill the inner space of the sad iron 1 but leaving suliicient space within said body over said core to accommodate said lugs 17, 18 and 19. This core is provided with a socket 24c whereby it may be lifted by an ordinary stove lift-er or other similar device. This core is adapted to be removed from the iron body and heated and then reinserted in the iron body thereby supplying the necessary heat to the iron. The non-conducting menr ber 15 prevents the heat from the core from disseminating through the upper portion of the iron thereby conserving it to the lower surface and also acting as protection to prevent the heat from burning the hand of the person using the iron.

Two or more cores may be provided for the iron so that the extra cores may be heating while the iron is in use. These cores may be set directly on the coals so that they may more quickly heat.

Now having described my invention that which I claim to be new and desire to procure by Letters Patent is:

The described device consisting of a hollow sad iron body, a lug projecting from the bottom thereof above the sides of said body, said lug having a recess above said sides, a core with an opening through which said lug projects adapted to seat in said body, the side and end walls of said body being deeper than the thickness of said core whereby corner recesses are provided above said core at the junctures of said walls, a top having depending lugs adapted to fit into said recesses whereby said top and body are held against relative sliding movement, an opening in said top to receive said first lug, a lever pivoted to said top one end of which is adapted to seat in the recess in said first lug and means on said top for wedging said lever in afiXed position.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
